Cyclone stage function

PREPOL Preheater
 PREPOL Preheater
The function of the dip pipe, is to
encrease the separation efficiency
and thus to reduce the dust
circulations.

The material of the dip pipe has to resist

the temperature in the cyclone and
must have a good resitants against
chemical attack.

The dip pipe is movable suspended

at his upper end

The cover of the cyclone stages are

mounted under pretensioned
conditions. The cyclone covers are
thus - in cold conditions - drawn
upwards by half the dimension of
the expected heat expansion. In
warm condition the pretensioned
cyclone covers will then vault by half
the dimension of the expected head
expension downwards across the
zero line.
The cyclone cover is designed in
such a way, that it functions as a
compensator.

Advantages

Inlet housing

- Minimal dust circulations

- Short raw meal path in the inlet housing

Air-cooled inlet trough

- Increased durability of the inlet through due to continious air cooling
- Simple exchange of the segments through the rear of the inlet housing
- Cost-effective spare parts stocking, thanks to the use of identical segments

Advantages of PREPOL AS-CC

- improve of the burn-up rate of slow reacting fuel

- shorter Calciner loop

The combustion starts in pure tertiary air in the center of the combustion chamber.
In the center of the combustion chamber is only a little bit of raw meal and the
flame creates an hot core. The most raw meal flows in a swirl close to the wall to the outlet of the
combustion camber and protects the refractory lining from the heat.
Carbon which does not burn in the chamber core ,
enters the calciner and reactes with the remaining oxygen in the hot kiln gas.

Hot meal pendulum flap

 PREPOL Preheater

Hot meal pendulum flaps are discharge devices for a varying mass flow of material
with simulteneous shutting-off of the counterflowing hot gas.

The exposed cross-section which remains when the flap blade is closed corresponds
approximately to the filling level at norminal capasity of the plant.

With increased mass flow of material the flap blade opens. Then the flap blade closes again
by means of the external sliding weights up to the internal stop.

The sliding weights of the levers and there position themself should be so adjusted that
the flap could open very easily to avoid blockages.
